| Introduction | BioRC, Biomimetic Real-time Cortex, is Dr. Parker's current research. She is designing CMOS and carbon nanotube neural nanocircuits, and investigating the timetable for a possible synthetic cortex based on statistical predictions. Dr. Parker has performed high-level synthesis research since 1975, and was one of the earliest such researchers. She is also known for her research in design data structures, CAD databases, and hardware descriptive languages. In the early 1990's Dr. Parker and her group used a combination of their software along with a commercial silicon compiler to produce an integrated circuit layout from the functional specification in under 48 hours. Her research in the past decade focused on system-level synthesis and partitioning, including the automatic design of multimedia network hardware and data management. Prof. Parker performs fundraising and other activities for the Josh Groban Foundation and the South Central Scholars. |
